I agree Brit. I love my Yammie receiver, and all the previous Yammie, Denon, Pioneer, and HK receivers I have owned/used, but adding a quality amp from B&K, Rotel, Krell, Bryston, Parasound, and even Outlaw can make all the difference between weak midrange and harsh highs (that plagues all entry level to moderate priced receivers) to a smooth warm midrange and crystal clear highs that can only be had with high quality amps.
